Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Donna Ray, LCSW, draws from established therapy methods to help clients work through concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, relationship strain, and difficult life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding to stressors. It is often used to build practical coping skills for anxiety, mood symptoms, and everyday overwhelm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel hard to control or relationships feel reactive. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships can shape trust, self-worth, and connection, supporting clients who want to understand patterns in intimacy and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel realistic and supportive over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, making it easier to get consistent support from home or while traveling within the US. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to fit different communication styles and schedules.
